Not sure why this was downvoted. These all seem like very reasonable questions that others here might be able to answer.

I really don't see what you are suggesting. Saying "oh my god" does not at all seem unusual or to suggest that the captain was overconfident or distracted or unfocused. It seems about as ordinary a detail as you could imagine

But how does the captain's last words tell you anything about his focus or confidence? There seems to be no reason to quote those words.

The point is that from a journalistic point of view the number of people eligible for citizenship is meaningless without the context of either the population of Hong Kong or of the UK or perhaps the number of immigrants the UK typically see

I was thinking the same but I imagine you'd have to buy a tyre pump as well in order to re-inflate the tyres. Not sure how much they would cost...

I'm honestly completely mystified what this service is. You say: "Upload a video" - upload a video of what? "Set a target location" - a target location of what? Then you give a sample gif which does nothing but conf

The study authors decided to administer DMB to all patients who arrived for treatment at the hospital after a certain date - I don't see why they could not have decided to administer DMB to 50% of patients and turn the study from an ob

> It's grossly irresponsible of Tesla to ship a system that can't detect big, solid obstacles. I think this is a case of something that seems grossly irresponsible because it's a task that humans can do extremely easily.

They don't call him budget Elon for no reason. If he is not running his own orbital rocket company in 10 years I will be amazed.

This is all the more impressive when you realise all the design, build, programming, filming, editing and even the music is done by one guy. I highly recommend subscribing to his YouTube channel to keep up with his current project: https:&

How widespread are the protests? It seems very bizarre to think they could be affecting tech news and announcements. Is there more going on here?

The percentage of the population that is vitamin D deficient can't affect its correlation with disease. It's perfectly possible that after this, vitamin D is added to tap water such that very few people are deficient but the corre

The process that patients go through when participating in a medical trial of psilocybin is so different than the typical recreational setting that the rest of us experience these drugs. They do everything they can to make sure the patient

I wonder if they are using an already used Falcon 9 or a brand new one? Is there are statistical difference in the reliability of unused vs reused Falcon 9s?

If you look at figure 2a, it looks like they are dropping successively more concentrated samples of SARS-CoV-2 onto the sensor and getting immediate spikes in the response. But it's not clear whether or not this technology could be dev

Unchecking "Enhanced pointer precision" doesn't disable acceleration entirely. Actually I doubt you would enjoy a 1:1 acceleration profile unless you have a very low resolution monitor.

Is that with Siri or something else?

This sounds very similar to GeoGuessrWizard's content (which is great by the way). He makes music, plays games and has some great travel/adventure films. Good luck!

The pandemic has caused demand for oximeters to skyrocket (going from around £10 to £90 in some cases). I've been working on a project based on a the MAX30102 heart rate and oxygen level sensor which cost me only £5. Actually I am simp

It looks like the tool creates 8 bit .gif files rather than h264 encoded webm videos. Is there any demand for actual .gif files these days?

If you want to be pedantic, you cannot observe direct evidence of anything. After all, when you look at your hand you don't see the hand itself, just the photons that happened to interact with it a short moment ago. Actually you don&#x

Well I wanted to specifically measure cursor distance rather than mouse distance so acceleration doesn't come into it. As long as you can sample the mouse position frequently enough, you can get an idea of how far it has travelled. All

A long time ago when I used to spend almost all my day in front of a computer, I wrote a program that would measure the physical distance my mouse cursor had moved thinking surely it must be several hundred meters a day. In fact it was only

But, nothing about the Apple ecosystem prevents them from also adopting the latest hardware. The only reason it could that I can think of is that it genuinely takes them 2 years to test the latest Intel CPU in each new laptop.
